Hello Everyone!!

 

So this is my first post.  I am saying HELLO! SIMPLE AS THAT!

 

Good question.  Anyone care to elaborate?

 

Here I am responding to the question about what is overwatch?  I think that is pretty straight forward.  I do not play video games on puter.  I have no joystick and am terrible trying to use keyboard to move people, I have tried in my youth and it never worked well, hence the reason I do not play.

 

and by the LOLOLOLOL's I am pretty sure that you already know zandy....LOLOLOL

 

and here if I remember correctly (I got the quotes off my iso) zander posted something about not knowing the game either then put a lot of lololololol's after it.  So I took that to mean that he was kidding that he really knew the game and was joking around.  and Hence I was joking around as well.  

 

tiink: rte 66 is a road in the USA....LOL but you could be right LOL

 

here I am responding to tiinks post that rte 66 could lead to the apocalypse.  I know its a famous road in the USA.  So I told him that and then jokingly told him that maybe he could be right and it could go to the apocalypse.  but the LOL were there to  show that it was a joke.

 

LOL.... I like you Nolder.....LOL 

 

Here I am responding to Nolder's posting of Crusher's vote on SOMEONE.  

 

 

LOL.... I like you Nolder.....LOL

So here is where you voted me.  All of the posts above here were joke posts except the first one which was a hello post.  I meant that one seriously.  I was not trying to "pocket" anyone.  I haven't quite gotten that part of strategy in my head yet and even if I did I wouldn't use it cause I am TOWN not wolf.  

@ Wifi-

 

I think you may be Scum.

 

Your posts are awkward.  And not normal Wifi awkward.

 

They read forced.

 

I sense no real WIM from you.

 

Your thread presence has been lower then normal for you.

 

I know its very early but your post to me felt like pocketing and kinda fake as have others.

 

You have time to prove me wrong but it was something that pinged me thus far.

 

They are all JOKES.  They were meant to be awkward. Except for the question about the game.  That was serious.

 

What do you mean by forced? I do not understand that. I was laughing the whole while I made them.

 

Well as far as WIM. In the past when I got serious right from the beginning and took jokes seriously, I was told to calm down its joke phase, that they are jokes and don't read anything into them atleast that is what I took from all the "it was only a joke" responses I got. So no, its early day one I am not looking for anything serious right now...or wasn't then, I should say.  Except for the game question which was tied into my thread presence. read below.

 

As far as my thread presence.  The game didn't start for me till around 9pm my time.  I got to bed at 9:30 pm.  It was at this time that I posted the hello and question posts.  Hallia said she was going to answer, however she was at a dr.'s appt with her niece and wouldn't be able to do it till later.  Okay so to bed I went. I wasn't able to get back to puter till around 9-9:30 this morning I think.  Then I Lead a group at 10 am but I have to use the Ladies room before hand and the regular elevator is broken so I have to use the kitchen elevator, a little longer walk. So from 9:45 to 11:30 am I was either getting ready for group, in group, coming back from group, etc. So I got back on @ 11:30ish.  Then I had to get off for lunch from about 11:55 to 12:30ish or somewhere about there. And then I did this post which has taken me a while...but all long posts do...oh and the game question....Hallia said she was going to do it last night but had to go into drs office with niece...she hasn't done it yet..I haven't had time to ask her when she is going to do it or if she is still going to do it:

 

 

Hallia: Could you please tell us what the game is about.  I know you were busy yesterday but if you have some time today that would be great. Thanks.

[Cory Caboose]

please not the colors

 

not the colors

[Hallia]

I did last night

[Hallia]

It's TF2 with a graphics upgrade - or do people not know what that is either? XD

[Zander?]

I got my response I think, you can do whatever you like Z

 

What response?

 

What are your thoughts on WIfi?

[Hallia]

H'okay, so, the story of Overwatch:

 

Thirty years ago, in a future not too dissimilar to ours, the world was sowing the seeds of its own destruction. Designed to bolster manufacturing and create worldwide economic equality, the world designed omnic robots which were built by A.I. centres around the world called Omniums. Eventually however the unthinkable happened, the Omniums went rogue and began churning out military robots to destroy humanity. When governments failed to stop the Omniums the UN created an international task force to fight them. Bringing together the best and brightest from around the world this task force named 'Overwatch' would wage an asymmetrical war against the robots. The small 5-Man strike team was made up by German soldier Reinhardt Wilhelm, Swedish engineer Torbjorn Lindhorn, Egyptian sniper ace Anna Amari and two soldiers from the United States' Soldier Enhancement Program: long-time friends Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison. Reyes became the team's leader but it was Morrison who became its figurehead, moulding the team into an effective fighting force. They fought the Omnic robots in what would become known as the Omnic Crisis. It lasted for years and years, displacing India’s population, ravaging Australia, devastating Siberia and besieging the Korean Peninsula with a highly adaptable giant sea-robot. But despite the adversity there were triumphs. The Russians defeated and shut down their Omnium and South Korea created mecha suits to fight the sea-robot. The Crisis claimed many lives on both sides but finally the humans, thanks in no small part to Overwatch, prevailed.

When the crisis was finally over the UN looked to establish world peace. Although around the world Omnics were not considered equal, they allowed a group of rebel omnic monks to remain in the Himalayas and they, including Tekhartha Zenyatta, taught peacefully that robots possessed a soul. The West African city of Numbani became the centre of Human-Omnic cooperation and the Australian government gave the Australian Omnium back to the remaining omnics in hopes of establishing peace. This decision displaced and then radicalised the Outback locals who eventually formed an organisation called the Australian Liberation Front which violently resisted their new omnic neighbours. But most importantly Overwatch became much better funded and diversified into a variety of fields including science, medicine and travel. Morrison was promoted to Strike Commander while Reyes was put in charge of Blackwatch: the covert ops division of the organisation. But the world viewed them as heroes. The youth of that time, the so-called ‘Overwatch generation’, catapulted them into superstardom and Overwatch inspired Amari's daughter Fareeha to join the Egyptian Army and become a hero herself.

As the years went on Overwatch expanded its roster as its resources and scope were increased, transforming from a strike force into a worldwide peacekeeping organisation. Some of the talented individuals they picked up included Dr. Angela Zeigler, a Swiss nano-biologist and medical expert who disagreed with the militaristic stance of Overwatch, Winston, a hyper-intelligent gorilla who escaped an uprising on the Horizon lunar colony, Lena Oxton, a British pilot who suffered a life changing accident in a prototype teleporting plane, Genji Shimada, the heir to a Japanese criminal empire nearly beaten to death by his brother and resurrected as a cyborg, Mei-Ling Zhou, a Chinese climatologist who focused on understanding the environmental and resource based issues of the world and Jesse McCree, a former American criminal who was drafted into Blackwatch after being captured in an Overwatch sting.

Overwatch led the world into a long era of peace but conflict still remained. The Vishkar corporation which had been rebuilding the world after the Omnic Crisis began enforcing strict laws and totalitarian decrees on the people they were helping, decisions that were questioned by some within the corporation including one Satya Vaswani. In a favela in Rio de Janeiro this policy caused a popular uprising led by DJ turned freedom fighter Lucio Correia Dos Santos, who became a celebrity overnight. In Russia the Siberian Omnium reactivated and plunged the country into war again, which made former athlete Aleksandra Zaryanova a national symbol. In Antartica Mei's research was sabotaged by unknown forces and she was forced into cryostasis for years. In Australia the Australian Liberation Front managed to blow up the Australian Omnium causing a nuclear explosion that ruined the Outback. The survivors calling themselves Junkers turned it into a mad, cut-throat society where only the strongest survived. In France Overwatch agent Gerard Lacroix was murdered by his wife Amelie who had been reprogrammed as the Talon sleeper agent and super-assassin Widowmaker. And while the Sea-Robot was kept in check by the South Korean's MEKA program it was forced to draft in pro-gamers including Starcraft world champion Hana 'D.Va' Song in order to continue to fight it off.

But worst of all were the allegations directed at Overwatch itself. Negligence resulting in high-profile mission failures; corruption and mismanagement; weapons proliferation; human rights abuses; and more emerged seemingly out of nowhere. Quickly the heroes of Overwatch became subjects of suspicion and hatred and a UN committee was set up to investigate these allegations. This inquiry would eventually lead to the dismantling of Overwatch but not before one final shocking event.

As the allegations mounted a split began within the organisation centred on Reyes and Morrison. Both never saw eye to eye after Morrison was promoted and now their feud reached breaking point. Morrison advocated for holding Overwatch together while Reyes disagreed. Although we don't know exactly what his agenda was, he is likely linked to attempts by rogue elements in Blackwatch to bring down the organisation. At Overwatch's Swiss HQ the two men fought each other resulting in an explosion that destroyed the base and reportedly killed them both, although their bodies were never found in the wreckage. That act was the death knell for Overwatch and the organisation was disbanded 20 years after the end of the Omnic crisis. Its members took different paths. Many like McCree became mercenaries, a group including Mercy and Reinhardt carried on their heroism without the organisation while others like Winston watched and waited for the days of heroes to return.

With Widowmaker still active, two Junkers Mako Rutledge and Jamison Fawkes going on a worldwide crime spree, the Shimada crime family retaining its power in Japan despite the defection of its remaining heir Hanzo, a gentle but defensive Bastion robot reactivating and wandering the world, Jack Morrison, now a masked vigilante named Soldier: 76, stealing Overwatch technology without caring who gets in his way and Gabriel Reyes now reborn as the terrifying assassin Reaper hunting down and killing Overwatch's former agents one thing is clear:

The world needs heroes.

My question was to Hallia

 

I'd prefer to NOT COMMENT for the time being irt to WiFi

[Zander?]

 

 

Trump and Clinton both Wolves.

 

Shhhhh. Wait for my game!!

 

 

ok?

 

OHHHH.

 

Correh.  I get it.

 

Get what?

 

Zanstion, stand down!

 

Probably; I just saw you mention you'd been to France, so I threw out the tu parles to you

 

wutido?

 

It isn't my place to, but suffice to say that Cory and Wifi are off the table.

 

why?

[Hallia]

Overwatch is team vs team – Each team has 6 characters, and you can pick any of the characters that Nolder listed.  Each has their own abilities.  Some are tanky who defend their team, some heal their teammates, some are damage dealers and some construct defenses to help their team.

 

Different maps have different goals.

 

For instance, Rte. 66 is a a payload escort map, like Lenlo said.  The goal for Team A is to stand near the payload in order to get it to move down the road to the end.  Team B’s goal is to disrupt this.  If a member of Team A is not standing near the payload, it will not move.  If Team A is standing near it, but so is Team B, the payload will not move.  If only Team B is standing near it, the payload will actually move backwards.

here I am responding to tiinks post that rte 66 could lead to the apocalypse.  I know its a famous road in the USA.  So I told him that and then jokingly told him that maybe he could be right and it could go to the apocalypse.  but the LOL were there to  show that it was a joke.

[Zander?]

My question was to Hallia

 

I'd prefer to NOT COMMENT for the time being irt to WiFi

[Cory Caboose]

Hallia I actually don't know what you saw. If you're clearing WiFi through something I said that seemed like it was a hint or something please disregard.

 

Just to snap it in case it becomes a distraction.

[Zander?]

Zander if you have ever trusted me, trust me now.

 

I always trust you once I town read you!!!

but im willing to see things shake out for a bit first.

[Zander?]

Hallia I actually don't know what you saw. If you're clearing WiFi through something I said that seemed like it was a hint or something please disregard.

 

Just to snap it in case it becomes a distraction.

 

Me neither.

 

I even went back to ISO you just in case.

[Cory Caboose]

I don't think that looks bad for Hallia at all, just a miscommunication fwiw.

[Cory Caboose]

Though I'm curious :angelface:
